Ring Me Sometime

Whether a big chunky cocktail style or something more subtle, lately I’m obsessed with rings! When it comes to jewelry, I’m always more interested in quality design than high end materials. Not that I’m going to turn down gems, but I’d rather have a well-designed crystal ring than a boring diamond one. Here are a few unique pieces I’m loving at the moment!

I found this beauty via pinterest and I can’t seem to find its original source. So gorgeous!

Fall Trend: Rose Gold

Perfect for fall, going rose is the latest trend in fine jewelry. I love the way rose gold flatters any skin tone and instantly gives you a creamy glow. Plus, it mixes beautifully with either silver or yellow gold, so it’s great for watches or rings you want to wear every day. Here are a few great finds to get you started!

Gold & Citrus

I just got my  latest Harper’s Bazaar (thank you, address forwarding). The pages were filled with fantastic metallic pieces that are heavier for fall. Then I came back to my computer and logged on to etsy to see — what else? — fashion-forward gold necklaces!

Gold & Citrus is the online storefront for Sara Rossbach from San Francisco. I love the way “Mandarin” (above) has a shape similar to the ever-present bib necklaces but is lighter and full of movement.

Of her work, Sara says, “If I had to pick one word that my jewelry is about, or inspired by, I would say versatility. For some of the pieces this means that it can be worn with anything from jeans and a t-shirt to a cocktail dress, while others take the concept of versatility even a step further and can be worn in multiple positions. My “scarf necklaces” [above], can be worn at least 4 different ways. You can drape them, toss one end over your shoulder, tie them, knot them… whatever! It’s all about options, and being creative.”

A jewelry designer out of Boulder, Colorado, Leslie Chandler works under the moniker Flow Designs and creates stunning pieces that reference nature. Among my favorites in her current etsy shop are the stunning gold and freshwater pearl Cascade Grande earrings that I would love to wear on New Year’s Eve and the Avalon necklace that I can only imagine would throw little sparkles of light everywhere. Leslie’s work is delicate and interesting and each of her pieces is unique.
